Careful Well...I think luck is not on my side. Lola's first words when she talked to me as we picked her up at the airport this morning was: "Georgina, please invite Javier Uvero for lunch tomorrow."I seriously don't know if Lola just have this super sharp memory or if one of my brothers tattled. Napapaisip tuloy ako kung hindi ba sapat iyong suhol ko sa kanila...Katatapos lang namin kumain ng dinner at nag-iisip ako kung paano ko ba sasabihin kay Austin na gusto siyang imbitahan ni Lola bukas. Feeling ko naman okay lang 'yon sa kanya kasi nagawa nga niyang harapin sina Mom. Pero iba talaga kapag si Lola, e...I left him a message.Georgina Meredith Sy: Hi. Are you free tomorrow lu

Drunk It's Austin's birthday.I spent the whole morning looking for a gift. Mamayang gabi pa iyong party sa bahay nila. I asked my brothers and cousins what's the best gift to give and they all just gave me extreme and weird answers.Sabi ni Tyler, bigyan ko raw ng ticket papuntang US para makanuod ng golf tournament na sinasalihan din ng ilang sikat na NBA players. Sabi ni Kuya Van, Aspen at Esther, sagutin ko na raw si Austin. Spencer suggested that I should play basketball with Austin and let him win. As if I stand a chance against him? I know the technicalities of basketball but I don't play.Sabi naman ni Austin basta pumunta lang ako sa party niya okay na. Pero gusto ko pa rin siya bigyan ng regalo. Halos malibot ko ang buong mall kanina sa paghahanap. In the end, I got hi

Effect Bukas pa ang dating ni Kuya Theo. We are all excited. He's been studying in Ohio for almost six months now. Ngayong last week ng taon lang siya nakakuha ng break.We'll spend New Year in Subic. Si Kuya Van at Tyler ang nagplano noon. I'm not quite sure if they just really wanted a short vacation or if they'll try to do something crazy again. Like surfing or any extreme water sports. I swear one day, idi-disown na sila ni Lola. Those two are the worst together. Hindi ko nga alam kung paano nila napapayag si Lola."Gi, can you reach Austin and ask if the game will push through?" Spencer asked. Nakaupo kami sa couch habang nanonood sa laro ni Aspen at Tyler. I don't know what game it is pero iyon daw 'yong binili nila sa Shanghai dati. Aspen even bragged that it's limited edition so a noob like me isn't allowed to play.

My Girl Austin tried hard to console me. Kahit pa okay naman talaga ang pakiramdam ko. Tumigil kami sa park malapit sa subdivision namin at doon nagpalipas ng oras. Ayaw niya kasing umuwi ako nang hindi niya nalalaman kung ano'ng nangyari sa'kin. He just kept on asking me what's wrong and that made me tear up even more. Kapag kasi tinatanong ako kung okay lang ba ako, mas lalo lang akong naiiyak.In the end, I got to convince him that I'm just really grateful and I'm not hurt physically or in any way. Ang tagal bago siya naniwala.Kinabukasan ay maaga kaming bumiyahe papuntang Subic. Medyo inaantok pa ako kasi ang tagal kong nakatulog kagabi. Tumawag kasi si Agatha tapos kung anu-ano na naman ang pinag-usapan namin na di ko na namalayan ang oras.Nasa hiwalay kaming sasakyan nin

Plot twist We stopped for lunch in a nearby resto then spent the whole afternoon visiting the Spanish Gate, a heritage site here in Subic, and Zoobic Safari. We enjoyed most in the Safari. Mas maganda pala pumunta roon kapag gabi pero hindi na kami pwede magtagal. Ang saya magpapicture kasama ng mga crocodiles pati na roon sa isang tiger. Ang friendly kasi nila ang sarap gawing pet. Pero bawal naman yata 'yon.The safari was our last stop for the day. Pinapauwi na kasi kami ni Lola. I think she's paranoid again that we'll do something crazy or extreme. Grabe talaga ang na-instill na doubt nina Kuya Van at Tyler kay Lola...The ride back to the beach house took almost an hour. Nakatulog na nga ako sa biyahe kahit pa nararamdaman ko na panay ang vibrate ng cellphone ko sa bulsa ng suot kong maong skirt. Gabi na nang makauwi k
